been suspended for up to six months by the Nevada State Athletic
Commission. The NSAC relayed the information to Sherdog via email
on Friday morning.

Among those suspended for 180 days was main event victor Urijah

to the post fight press conference with an ice pack on his left
shoulder but dismissed the injury as minor.

with a six-month suspension pending a facial X-ray. Regardless, he
must spend at least 45 days on the shelf with no contact allowed
for 30 days. Undercard competitors Rafael Assuncao, Clint
Godfrey and Yves Jabouin
each received six-month sentences for various injuries.

Four other competitors also received medical suspensions, headlined
by main event loser Takeya
Mizugaki, who will be sidelined 45 days with no contact allowed
